Tools NIS users cann't login on AIX and HP
Hey,

I've set up a NIS domain with linux as master-server, slave server and clients ... and Linux works fine.

To that NIS domain I tried to add a HPUX 11.00 and an AIX 4.3.3 system (till now - there should be more clients in final version). And both systems now have to same problem:
I can "su - nisuser", but cann't login via telnet. Telnet brings "invalid user/passwd". Also I cann't find any logfile on the systems which points to that problem.

ypwhich and "ypcat passwd" brings both the correct output.

any ideas? more information needed?

thx

ypwhich

ypwhich(1)							   User Commands							ypwhich(1)

NAME

       ypwhich - return name of NIS server or map master

SYNOPSIS

       ypwhich [-d domain] [ [-t] -m  [mname] | [-Vn] hostname]

       ypwhich -x

DESCRIPTION

       ypwhich	returns  the  name  of	the  NIS server that supplies the  NIS name services to a NIS client, or which is the master for a map. If
       invoked without arguments, it gives the NIS server for the local machine.  If hostname is specified, that machine is queried  to  find  out
       which NIS master it is using.

       Refer to ypfiles(4) for an overview of the  NIS name services.

OPTIONS

       -d domain       Use domain instead of the default domain.

       -t	       This option inhibits map nickname translation.

       -m mname        Find  the  master  NIS server for a map.  No hostname can be specified with -m. mname can be a mapname, or a nickname for a
		       map. When mname is omitted, produce a list of available maps.

       -x	       Display the map nickname translation table.

       -Vn	       Version of  ypbind, V3 is default.
